Helmets
Operating this vehicle without an ap-
proved motorcycle helmet increases
your chances of a severe head injury
or death in the event of an accident.
The majority of fatalities from motorcy-
cle or scooter accidents are the result
of head injuries. The use of a safety
helmet is the single most critical factor
in the prevention or reduction of head
injuries.
Always select an approved
motorcycle helmet
Pay attention to the following when
choosing a motorcycle helmet.
●
The helmet must meet the safety
standard “TIS”.
●
The helmet size must match the
size of the rider’s head.
●
Never subject a helmet to heavy
shocks.
Wearing the helmet correctly
Always connect the chin strap. In the
case of an accident, the helmet has a
much less chance of coming off if the
chin strap is connected.
